some more progress.

secondary injectors will fit, took abit to get them sitting in the rite spot so they dont spray on to the runner and port walls and without putting the hole in the wrong spot to start with.

no speed sensors. not really necessary. atmospheric conditions can change the boost given the same comp speed. i will be running a balance pipe on the back of the engine to average the boost to each bank.

just working out the heater/turbo plumbing atm. + water to air cooler plumbing+ our lease is up and have to move.........

secondary injectors all mounted.

It looks schmick, nice job. But why go to staged injection when you can run injectors up to 2000cc that will idle and run nicely down low as well?

If it's bling, I understand. But the work / complexity increase would make me shy away.

because i want it to pass an im240 if need be. my ecu can run it, and with proper injector placement i wont need as big. better economy and more consistent mixtures.

ive got a set of moran billet atomisers that will do the job, but i want it done well. fyi the "2000 ish cc" injectors on the market are gas injectors and fail on a regular basis. there not meant for liquid petrol. let alone e85. the rubber seals inside swell and change there dynamic flow rate.

yes some updates. having our lease up sucks. house hunting has taken a front seat over this.

also i am abandoning the water to air intercoolers in the manifolds. the volume is to big and will make it lazy. (i need razor sharp throttle response for the paddle shift that im running.

also bonnet clearance is an issue. i want to raise the engine a cm or 2 for ground clearance. stock sump will be marginal at best,,

ive got some old hypertune s2000 plenum shells i am modding to fit. (shortening and mirror imaging one for the r/h bank)

the water to air coolers will be mounted in the inner guards out of the way.

all but finished my 110L fuel tank. all in 316L so it wont corrode. twin walbro 400's staged and an internal gated surge tank/pot

getting close. just finding the time has been hard + the 90 odd wires for the engine wiring harness took some time to make.

got the air shift piston and linkage sorted so i can use the stick and have paddle shift.

    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
    • Nah, I'm not an a-hole, ha ha!   I do like the colour match. Some of the carbon fibre wraps are quite freaking horrible. There's one a local company I know uses, and it looks damn good! Also very very expensive per metre to buy! ha ha ha It might be cheaper to respray the roof than use the good CF Wrap, ha ha!
